Armadillo Malawi Rug

The ribbed pile offers a soft, supple texture that feels substantial and comfortable. Because it is hand-knotted from wool, it provides a cushioned, tactile experience that is gentle enough for living areas and bedrooms.

Since the rug is made from undyed, natural fleece, it is durable but benefits from regular maintenance. We recommend vacuuming regularly without a beater bar to protect the fibers and rotating the rug every few months to ensure even wear.

Yes, we strongly recommend using a rug pad with the Malawi Classic. It will prevent slipping, protect the hand-knotted construction from unnecessary friction, and extend the life of the wool fibers.

As a natural wool product, the Malawi Classic is designed to evolve. You can expect the pile to soften further and the rug to develop a unique character and patina as it settles into your space.

The tassels are a decorative feature that adds character to the design. While they are securely crafted, they are best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms or formal living rooms to keep them looking their best.
